HTML stands for HyperText Markup Language and it is used to create webpages on the internet. It is a markup language, which means that it is a collection of tags that are used to describe the content and structure of a webpage. For example, you can use the <h1> tag for heading text and the <p> tag for paragraph text. You can also use HTML to add images, videos, or other media to a webpage.
